Hello,

I have noticed a strange behaviors of asterisk.

On random occasions we receive incoming calls on the extensions and caller id of incoming call is extension itself.

(e.g. my extension is 1901, so I get calls from 1901. My colleague's extension is 1902 and he gets call from 1902 and so forth)

call rings for a few seconds and then goes off, if not answered.
if call is answered then it dead silence after a few seconds call hangs up automatically.

no clue why this happens.. can anyone share their opinion on this? cant such calls be stopped?

here is the server version.
> PIAF: 2.0.6.2
> asterisk: 1.8.23
> freepbx: 2.9.0.14

I have a few remote extensions so
Allow Anonymous Inbound SIP Calls is set YES.

Thanks in advance.

That's not a reason to have anonymous inbound set to yes. Since they are coming from your PBX, they will be known and not be anonymous. I have remote extensions and have anonymous as well as guests set to no.

Also - check your handset to make sure it is not allowing guests in there.

@ Krzkat.

I didnt understood your comments, can you please elaborate "Also - check your handset to make sure it is not allowing guests in there."
I missed to add one line in initial descriptions, I have remote extensions so ports are open and around many inbound routes so "Allow Anonymous Inbound SIP Calls" "YES".

is there a way to get rid of this automatic ringings of all the extensions?
